It's more than a little challenging to say the least, as I now live in a top floor flat. When I lived in my bungalow and had a large garden, yes I did. Used to have a few fruit trees as well so made use of those, apart from the cherries cos the pesky birdies got to those first

Became obsessed with growing tomatoes this year. As a result had a glut, cooked up a huge batch of marinara sauce with them tonight for freezing, ironically during Gardeners World.

I benefit from someone else's allotment. The cauliflowers were fantastic this year. The peas are always a favourite straight from the pod. We're still waiting for the sweetcorn and the tomatoes are just ripening.

I cheated, I got two starter plants from an online gardening site...as I had tried before and its quite tricky to get them established from seed without a greenhouse...got loads of chillies off them eventually and had to give half of them away

We've got tomatoes, cucumbers and chillies in the greenhouse. Rosemary, thyme, sage, chives and garlic in an old water feature. And mint on its in in a pot

And an apple tree.
